Congenital Heart Walk- June 29th!

I've been meaning to post about the upcoming heart walk this year. Next Sunday, June 29th, Wes and I, along with family members and friends, will be walking in honor of Alexander and his heart warriors. If you live local and want to join us that day- we would LOVE it! If you can't, but still want to help, you can donate. The money raised goes toward funding for research on Congenital Heart Defects like Alexander's.

If you hadn't heard by now...



We are home! We came home two weeks ago Friday, about noon and I thought I had updated my blog. Oops! So yes, we are home and Alexander has been doing great! He's so happy to be home and able to go out and about. Over the past two weekends, we have spent time out of the house and have been enjoying the beautiful weather after being quarantined for 3 weeks. When we took him to the park the day after being discharged, Alexander was smiling the entire time we were there!



Alexander turned 16 months yesterday and everything is pretty much the same with him. His oxygen saturations are the same and now he's on one more medication: aspirin, to help with blood thinning. He is getting his strength and appetite back too. Alexander has begun to progressively pull himself up on things and is walking with help! It won't long until he's taking side steps along the couch and table!




Next week he FINALLY starts speech therapy. I'm excited to see what the therapist will do to start getting him to talk! Tomorrow we have a follow-up appointment with his Cardiologist. We are praying all looks good and that no new medications will be needed or any additional procedures (there is a chance of having to go back to the Catherization lab in 2 months for the same reasons).


We thank you all for the prayers while Alexander was in the hospital and hope everyone has a wonderful Father's Day weekend! Let's hope all goes well tomorrow too!
